[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] The biological mother of a 3-year-old girl found dead in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, who was previously believed to be the maternal grandmother, has been revealed to be A (48), who denied giving birth, saying, "I have never given birth."

On the morning of the 11th, before the pre-arrest hearing at the Daegu District Court Gimcheon Branch, A stated in an interview with the press, "I have never given birth to a daughter," denying the birth of the deceased 3-year-old child.

Furthermore, A said, "(The deceased 3-year-old girl) is indeed the daughter of my daughter," and when asked by a reporter whether she thought the DNA test was wrong, she answered, "Yes." When questioned about the whereabouts of the child born to her daughter, she again denied giving birth, saying, "I have never given birth to a daughter."

Additionally, when asked if she had anything to say or if she felt wronged, she repeatedly denied giving birth, stating, "(I) have never given birth."

Earlier, the police revealed through DNA testing that the biological mother of the 3-year-old girl found dead in a villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, was not B (22), who was arrested last month on suspicion of murder, but A, who was previously known as the maternal grandmother. B, who was believed to be the biological mother responsible for the death of the 3-year-old daughter, is actually the older sister of the deceased girl, making them siblings.

Investigators suspect that A disguised the deceased child as her granddaughter to conceal the fact that she gave birth. They are currently investigating the circumstances of A's childbirth and the reasons for disguising the child as her granddaughter. Additionally, they are focusing investigative efforts on locating the child born to B.
